N-(4-Methoxybenzyl)aniline → 6-chloro-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-N-phenylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-8-amine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of N-(4-methoxybenzyl)aniline (6.42 g, 30.10 mmol) in THF (10 mL) was stirred at 25° C., and potassium tert-butoxide (1M in THF, 90.30 mL, 90.30 mmol) was added. After 30 minutes, 8-bromo-6-chloroimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazine (7.00 g, 30.10 mmol, Example 1 from WO 2007/038314) was added, and the reaction solution stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was quenched with water (50 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×200 mL). The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous NaHCO3 (100 mL) and saturated aqueous at NaCl (100 mL). The organic phase was dried Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified via ISCO (5% EtOAC/DCM; 120 g column) to give 6-chloro-N-(4-methoxybenzyl)-N-phenylimidazo[1,2-b]pyridazin-8-amine (9.09 g, 83% yield) as a tan solid. LC/MS (Phenomenex Luna 5 micron C18 4.6×30 mm, 0 to 100 B in 2 min with 1 min hold time, Flow rate=5 mL/min, detection at 254 nm, Solvent A: 10% methanol/90% water/0.1% TFA; Solvent B: 10% water/90% methanol/0.1% TFA). Rt=3.918 minutes [M+H]=365.07.
